Une nuit, une rencontre, une illusion. Dans les rues silencieuses de Pétersbourg, un rêveur solitaire croise Nastenka, jeune femme au cœur brisé. Ensemble, le temps de quelques nuits blanches, ils tissent l'espoir d'un amour possible. Mais derrière la beauté fragile de cette parenthèse nocturne, Fiodor Dostoïevski, figure majeure de la littérature russe, interroge le poids des illusions, la cruauté du réel, et l'éternelle soif d'absolu. Un court roman d'une intensité rare, où le romantisme se heurte à la mélancolie du quotidien.

May Night, or the Drowned Maiden, 1831 is the third tale in the collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol. It was made into the opera May Night by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1878–79 and also a Ukrainian setting by Mykola Lysenko. This story comes from the unnamed story-teller (who was previously responsible for "The Fair at Sorochyntsi"). In this tale, a young Cossack named Levko, the son of the mayor, is in love with Hanna. He comes to her house to talk about marriage and mentions that his father is not pleased with the idea, though he doesn't say anything directly and merely ignores him.

The Cloak (sometimes translated as Overcoat) is a short story by Russian author Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842. The story and its author have had great influence on Russian literature, as expressed in a quote attributed to Fyodor Dostoyevsky: "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'." The story narrates the life and death of titular councillor Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin, an impoverished government clerk and copyist in the Russian capital of St. Petersburg. Akaky is dedicated to his job, though little recognized in his department for his hard work.

With his sense of humor and ability to observe, Nikolai Gogol presents the world with stories of little people: the weak and fragile people who try to hold on to life in the gloomy cities of Russia. The Mantle, which is listed among his masterpieces, describes how Russian bureaucracy turns everyone into a ghost of each other. It tells the tragicomic story of a poor low-ranking official named Akakiy Akakiyevich Bashmachkin, a faint character living on the margins of society who spends all his time diligently copying documents.

Konstantin Paustovsky was a Russian writer nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1965, 1966,1967,1968. Paustovsky began writing while still in Gymnasium. His first works were imitative poetry but he restricted his writing to prose after Ivan Bunin wrote in a letter to him: "I think that your sphere, your real poetry, is prose. It is here, if you are determined enough, that I am sure you can achieve something significant."

It's a touching tale of a young man who finds himself without shelter or food on a cold Autumn Night in Moscow. The strong opening lines of the narrator set the stage nicely: "Once in the autumn I happened to be in a very unpleasant and inconvenient position. In the town where I had just arrived and where I knew not a soul, I found myself without a farthing in my pocket and without a night's lodging." Scavenging for something to eat around the "steamship wharves," he encounters another poor wretch, the young woman, Natasha, in similar circumstance if for different reasons.

Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy

This short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky was first published in 1848. A man walking past a wedding is reminded of a children’s New Year’s Eve party he attended 5 years previously – a party that was clearly an excuse for the parents to make advantageous connections in a casual setting. As an outsider at the party, he was able to observe the guests in greater detail than most, and took particular note of the children playing by the Christmas tree, and the social hierarchy they unwittingly participated in. This recording is based on the 1918 translation by Constance Garnett.

"Storia di una controttava" e altri racconti è un libro in prosa poetica, dove la vita, la natura e soprattutto i sentimenti, ricadono sotto la lente di un potente microscopio. L'opera, scritta probabilmente intorno al 1913, si ispira ai ricordi dei viaggi in Germania compiuti dalla famiglia Pasternak negli anni precedenti.

Nicht der Leser ist der "Dummie“, es ist auch nicht die auffällig oft auftretende Figur in der russischen Literatur (nicht nur) sondern es sind ebenso die Autoren und ihre Anhänger, die sich der Anmaßung dieser Literaten gedankenlos unterwerfen. Denn mal ehrlich: Was ist das Großartige, das Weltverändernde an der russischen Literatur, der russischen Seele? Dass sie das von sich selber glaubt? Ist ihre Literatur unter all dem Größenwahn tatsächlich eine gute? Sir Galahad, die leuchtende Rittergestalt, ist dem Phänomen im Jahre 1925 auf der Spur.

Leo Tolstoi, Russlands großer Schriftsteller, schrieb nicht nur über "Krieg und Frieden" oder "Anna Karenina". Er schrieb auch über etwas so scheinbar Banales wie ein altes, krankes Pferd namens "Leinwandmesser". In fünf Nächten erzählt es den jüngeren Stallgenossen seine Lebensgeschichte von der einstigen Berühmtheit bis zu seinem späteren Verfall. Eindrucksvoll setzt Tolstoi dabei den menschlichen und den tierischen Niedergang in Beziehung zueinander.
